The Young Money millionaire has purchased a modern Miami mansion for $16.75 million. According to Architectural Digest, Lil Wayne’s new pad, located off the coast of Miami Beach on the exclusive Allison Island, boasts seven bedrooms and 10,632 square feet of living space.

The mahogany-clad entryway leads to a great room with 22-foot ceilings. A wall of glass sliders opens to the backyard, which includes an infinity pool, outdoor dining spaces, and cabana, with stunning waterfront views of Biscayne Bay.

The sleek kitchen is outfitted with custom Italian cabinetry and Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, while each bedroom has a private terrace. Weezy will be able to take in a movie in the private home theater, decked out with suede walls. Other lavish features include a butler’s kitchen, staff quarters, and wine cellars.

Wayne previously owned a mansion in the same area that was the target of a swatting incident in 2015. The house, which included a shark lagoon and rooftop skate park, sold last fall for $10 million.

One year after Matt Lauer was fired from the “Today” show for “inappropriate sexual behavior,” he is reportedly lonely and not doing well. Wendy has the latest on what Matt’s up to and how much his wife is expected to walk away with in their divorce.

Then, rocker Tommy Lee is feuding with Travis Scott for allegedly copying his stage show and Bobby Brown is suing Showtime for airing footage of him and his kids in the unauthorized documentary, “Whitney: Can I Be Me?”.

Plus, O.J. Simpson’s former manager is making a documentary about the infamous murders.

Travis Scott reopens Astroworld in the enchanting video for “Yosemite.”

Inspired by Travis’ childlike-wonder for amusement, the Nabil-directed clip includes an appearance from Gunna, who is currently on tour with Travis.

While La Flame flies on a private jet, he dreams of a child who falls out of the sky and into a magical forest. The young boy ventures through the woods while discovering abandoned pieces from an amusement park including rides and a merry-go-round horse. He makes his way into the mouth of Travis’ giant head where more adventures and thrills await. When he comes out on the other side, he discovers Astroworld, complete with a roller coaster and Ferris wheel.

Travis is currently in the midst of his “Astroworld: Wish You Were Here” tour. Kylie Jenner shared some behind-the-scenes footage from the Madison Square Garden show featuring a cameo from their daughter Stormi.

“Yosemite” arrives just days after Travis unleashed the Skrillex-produced remix to his 2x platinum hit “Sicko Mode.”

After much anticipation, Ariana Grande presents the epic video for her chart-topping hit “Thank U, Next.”

The pop powerhouse pays homage to teen comedies including 13 Going on 30, Bring It On, Legally Blonde, and Mean Girls in the cinematic clip, directed by Hannah Lux Davis.

In the first scene, Grande plays the role of Regina George from 2004’s Mean Girls. The clip opens with her in bed with the iconic Burn Book before taking over the high school halls with her fellow mean girls. She performs at a Christmas talent show while her mother, played by Kris Jenner, films on a camcorder.

Grande also channels Kirsten Dunst’s character Torrance Shipman in the Bring It On scene and transforms into Reese Witherspoon’s character Elle Woods from Legally Blonde. Plus, look for cameos from Troye Sivan, Victoria Monét, Tayla Parx, Jennifer Coolidge, and Grande’s dog Toulouse.

“Thank U, Next,” which was inspired by Grande’s famous ex-boyfriends including Mac Miller, Big Sean, and Pete Davidson, has spent three weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

The hip-hop mogul has had a contentious relationship with his oldest son throughout the years, and it appears that his feelings haven’t changed. 50 left a surprising comment on an Instagram photo of his 21-year-old son Marquise Jackson hanging out with the son of 50’s rival Supreme McGriff.

“If both these little ni**s got hit by a bus, I wouldn’t have a bad day,” he wrote.

50 and Marquise have been at odds for years, stemming from 50’s relationship with his mother, Shaniqua Tompkins, who once sued the rapper for $50 million.

In a 2017 interview with Rap-Up, Marquise opened up about his relationship with his estranged father. “It completely went south when I was probably like 10 or 11. He wasn’t really around enough,” he said. “It was like having a father who’s Superman, more or less. But then, as I got older, you start realizing things or you start seeing certain patterns and it takes an effect on your relationship with people. That’s what happened with me and my father. He’s still alive but I can’t tell you our last conversation or the last time we even had a dialogue.”

As for McGriff, the former Ja Rule and Irv Gotti associate allegedly plotted to kill 50. Supreme is currently serving a life sentence for murder conspiracy and drug trafficking. According to TMZ, 50 has never met McGriff’s son and Marquise didn’t know their history when he took the photo with him.

50 also has a six-year-old son, Sire Jackson, with model-actress Daphne Joy, whom he has a healthy relationship with.

On “What’s Free,” his collaboration with Rick Ross and Meek Mill off the latter’s new album Championships, Hov makes reference to Kanye West and his red Make America Again hat.

“No red hat, don’t Michael and Prince me and Ye / They separate you when you got Michael and Prince’s DNA,” he raps on The Notorious B.I.G.-inspired track. “I ain’t one of these house ni**as you bought / My house like a resort, my house bigger than yours / My spou—c’mon, man—my route better, of course.”

Upon first hearing the lyrics, many interpreted them as a shot at Ye, who has been an outspoken Trump supporter. However, JAY-Z took to Twitter to clarify that it was not a diss. Instead, it appears the line was aimed at President Trump. While he may disagree with Ye politically, JAY doesn’t want to be pitted against his “brother.”

“The line clearly meant don’t pit me against my brothers no matter what our differences are (red hat),” he tweeted, before plugging Meek’s album, “now go pick up Meek album. Drake and Meek on there together.”

The line clearly meant don’t pit me against my brothers no matter what our differences are (red hat) now go pick up Meek album . Drake and Meek on there together .

JAY-Z and Kanye have had a tumultuous relationship throughout the years. During an April interview with David Letterman’s “My Next Guest Needs No Introduction,” JAY spoke about his relationship with Ye. “That’s my brother,” he said. “We’re beyond friends. Really, like literally, my little brother is Kanye, and like your little brother, things happen sometimes.”

In September, Kanye announced that a sequel to Watch the Throne was in the works, but he didn’t specify if JAY would be involved.

Meek has also questioned Kanye’s political motives following his White House meeting with Trump. “I don’t think [Kanye] addressed anything that had to do with what was tough on justice reform. He wasn’t prepared for it, and he shouldn’t have done it,” he told Vulture. “I had phone calls with Kanye for hours. He was trying to get me to go to things like that.”

He also had a conversation with Kim Kardashian, but that too didn’t yield any results. “She knew a lot more information than I thought she would know,” said Meek, adding, “I just couldn’t reason with them.”

UPDATE: Kanye has responded to JAY-Z’s tweet by reigniting talks of a Watch the Throne sequel. He seemed to ask if he was down to record a follow-up to their 2011 collaborative album.
